چکیده
Vegetable oils and certain herbal preparations have been used since ancient times for the dressing of human hair and to promote hair growth. This investigation determined the topical effect of oils of Amla, coconut, sarson and Samsol on the rabbits hair growth and a comparison was made with untreated controls and with those applied locally a 0.5% solution of Vitamin E in ethanol. Experiments were also conducted to study the effect of such treatment on the sheep wool growth. The data obtained showed that these applications do accelerate rabbits' hair growth but to varying degrees. Quantitatively, the effect of vitamin E appears to be similar to that of Sarson oil and maximum hair length was attained by the sarson treated group. It is conceivable that the hair growth stimulating effect of vegetable oils tested is due to the direct effect of fats or possibly due to their vitamin E contents or some other active ingredient. In sheeps, oils of Amla, coconut and sarson have exerted nonsignificant effect on the wool growth. Samsol and vitamin E retarded the rate of wool growth in sheep. This difference from rabbits' hair might be due to differences between the two species as the sheep has been reported to possess no definite fat layer within its skin (JPMA 31:246, 1981).
